[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2601272, member: 121677"] I would guess the price point will be $650-700 base and real retail being a bit under that, top end models in that $1100-1300 range. The economy of scale is not to be underestimated. If they have invested in new machinery and embraced current manufacturing technology you are looking at around 3 maybe 3.5 minutes to machine a bolt, at or under a minute for the handle. Receiver can be made in 10 minutes or less with broached raceways. Chamber and thread in 2.5 minutes, thread for brake in 1.5 minutes. All with very good tolerances, plus or minus a couple thousandths. They can't attempt a comeback with prices out of line with say a Bergara or a Tikka, well I guess they can if they aren't all that bright but I have to think that if they have any business sense at all they are squarely lined up to take on Bergara, Tikka, top end Savages, etc. I hope I'm right, if I am I will buy one.
